ABC’s New Drama HIGH POTENTIAL: Pilot Filmed in Vancouver. Will Series?
ABC’s new drama High Potential, starring Kaitlin Olson as a single Mom with an exceptionally high IQ, is adapted from the French series Haut Potential Intellectuel (HPI). The pilot filmed this Spring in Vancouver. Will the series?
Update: High Potential is being held until mid-season on ABC, like every other scripted show in expectation of a prolonged WGA Writers Strike.
High Potential follows a single mom (Kaitlin Olson) with an exceptional mind whose unconventional knack for solving crimes leads to an unusual and unstoppable partnership with a by-the-book seasoned detective (Daniel Sunjata). Based on the French series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (HPI).
